Superb display

Suchanan shows she has the right stuff. Suchanan Viratprasert kept Thai spirits high at the Rama Gardens, advancing into the second round of the US$200,000 PTT Thailand Open as Thailand’s No 1 Tamarine Tanasugarn crashed out yesterday. The Thai No 2 benefited from a plethora of unforced errors from Taiwanese Hsieh Su-wei to score a 6-2 7-6 (7-1) win a baseline duel that lasted one hour and 27 minutes. Tamarine was impatient against the highly experienced Conchita Martinez, who pulled out her full repertoire of slice, spin and drop shots to force errors from the Thai. The sixth-seeded Spanish star, who won her last title almost five years ago in Pattaya, dashed Tamarine’s hopes with a clinical 6-3 6-2 victory.
